Khaki, or olive green as it is also called, is a color that without drawing too much attention to itself sets a significant touch to an outfit. I like green in different shades and my favorite is without a doubt this one. Personally I feel that no wardrobe is complete without a hint of khaki!

​Khaki colored garments is a good entrance into broadening your closets color palette since it is a shade that you can match with just about any color or pattern. At the same time it is a neutral color that is hard to get tired of. The color is therefore perfect to use for items that you spend some extra money on and plan to use for a long time.

I own two jackets in khaki. One light, shiny bomber jacket from the Swedish premium brand Tiger of Sweden and one city jacket from the Swedish designer Veronica Virta. Both of the jackets are great indoor choices for the cold seasons and perfect as outerwear during the warm ones.

Personally I prefer to pair up my khaki jackets with basic colors, nude and other shades of beige for example gives a good contrast towards the darker color. In the pictures above I have paired up my khaki city jacket with a top and heels in nude plus a pair of suit trousers in black. A winning combination for a day in the office as well as for a visit to one of the city’s sidewalk cafes.
